Happy to see our new study on the evolution of eusociality come out in Evolution Letters. Our study is the first to experimentally manipulate the proportion of females that stay and help to simulate incipient sociality & assess fitness impact of helping. researchgate.net/publication…

We are lending Britain an iconic jewel of our shared history: the Bayeux Tapestry. This is the first time this national treasure will leave French soil. It marks an unprecedented cultural partnership between our two countries — a powerful symbol of our Entente amicale.

Kicking off the new year, our paper by @leo_speidel et al. is out describing what to me is a breakthrough in ancient genomics. By using genealogies to study ancestry we can get much more resolution to study finer-scale history. We call this method Twigstats.

This is an excellent opportunity to exchange information, opinions, and ideas together with female researchers from Japan, England, and France who are active in the fields of science and entomology, and simultaneous Japanese-English interpretation will be provided.

Starting on my journey to Montreal for #Evol2024! I'm not presenting this time, but some members of my research group are. First up is Chedhawat (Tim) Chokechaipaisarn (not on Twitter), who'll be talking about density-dependent dispersal and sex ratios (Sat, 16:30, Room 516C).
